Looks like you didn't win,

OR

Of course the more likely, you're on the plane already on your way over

Nup unfortunately didn't win a cent, will have to work on Plan B (if I can work out what Plan B should be )

Ah, now Plan B.

Plan B is always a compromise between Plan A and Plan C.

You do have a Plan C don't you?

Am now thinking maybe I'll be able to get some chasing in back in my home town of Brisbane. Here are some photos of the 2 storms which hits yesterday. Some very interesting cloud formations in a few of them and great CG shots as well.

There's some incredible shots there, maybe we should add Brisbane to the storm chasing calendar!

[CycloneGail]

I would definitely be a cheaper option for me! $200 airfare compared to $2,000. They also had a further 3 storms blow through on Sunday.

Long way to ship it, as the Eu Cafe express doesn't keep it.

[CycloneGail]

Looks like they come from the US, but it is saying they are in stock on the AU site. Postage isn't cheap though at $15 for the first item

[Arron]

Ian had some made up, not sure if he has any left though.

[Team Jo]

I picked up some cartoony ones from the David and Goliath store for a tenner each....

Yeah, he had some last years for the skinny b*ggers, for the more curvier shaped amongst the tour the T-shirt fabric failed the stretchability test.

Maybe he'll consider the larger members of the team this time, aye Ian

Just thought I would let you all know that my son and I already can't wait for our 'vicarious' storm chase experience watching you all on video doing your actual storm chase. Really can't wait and wishing you all the best.
